The Mayor of Brentwood wishes to extend to the citizens of Brentwood a warm message for this holiday season. The times are indeed very challenging, but your city continues to rise above the fray in a most positive manner. The city is still on stable footing and is proceeding forward to continued success.

The city has opened our new city hall and expects to open civic center in early 2012. Our downtown has a different look with a new fountain, wider sidewalks, and renders a warm, friendly atmosphere.

I wish to thank our citizens for contributing to making our city a wonderful place to live and raise and enjoy our most treasured gifts, that being our families and friends. Thank you to our public safety personnel, who keep us safe and are there on call when we need their assistance. We must not forget our service persons, who guard our country and sacrifice their lives in order to keep our country the nation of freedom.

The Mayor and family wish you a very fulfilling holiday season. May God bless our country and our city in the year of 2012.

Mayor Robert Taylor
